CASE STUDY: Anti-Microbial Resistance

Due to the lack of new antibiotics on the market for the last 20 years, resistance to current antibiotics is increasing at a rapid pace. It is estimated that by the year 2050, anti-microbial resistance (AMR) will be responsible for over 10 million deaths per year, translating to AMR killing more people than cancer and HIV combined. GHI is doing its part in helping to reduce anti-microbial resistance of current available drugs. Specifically targeted at low income countries, GHI is implementing a Post-Prescription GHI Hosts First Review (PPR) Program that allows infectious disease doctors to crosscheck antibiotics International prescribed to a patient to ensure treatment is in accordance with antibiotic regulations. Tyler Prentiss, program coordinator at GHI responsible for the PPR program, notes, Exchange “AMR disproportionately affects people in low income countries because they don’t have the same funds or access to resources to implement infection control procedures.” n 2014, GHI hosted its first wave of While the program initially took roots in Nepal and , GHI also works to integrate international students as part of the program into the local community here in Detroit as well.
